U.S. Trade Representative Greer to Seek Common Ground in India

President Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are slated to hold a high-level meeting during the G7 summit, held June 15–17, where trade relations will dominate the bilateral agenda. Despite the diplomatic visibility of the event, officials indicate that a finalized agreement remains unlikely at this stage. Instead, the focus rests on maintaining momentum in technical discussions that have stalled over tariff structures and market access.

Beyond basic commerce, the Indian delegation intends to press for broader cooperation on energy security and the stability of maritime logistics following recent incidents involving Indian tankers. These talks mirror wider shifts in international trade policy, as Canada simultaneously pursues dialogue regarding the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement. By keeping channels open, negotiators hope to stabilize these critical relationships before formalizing any binding long-term commitments.
